I love these. They remind me of Olivia Newton John in Grease. I was a little girl then but oh how I wanted to be sexy and wear tight high waisted shiny pants. Now, all these years later, I have done it. Again and again. And I love it- flattering sexy comfy and did I mention my butt looks great in them???
Order a size down- I am a 29 and ordered the 28 in these and they are perfect.

These leatherette jeans are high waisted and extremely comfy.
I am normally a size 26 so bought my normal size - soon realised I could have easily gone with a 25 as, although I kept them, they fall a little on the large side.

These pants fit fine, but the coating stretches out with the fabric, so you almost need to get them several sizes too large in order for the coating to remain intact, but then of course, they would be much too large. Had to return.

Everything is true to size except for the waist which I found to be a bit loose. If you have skinny thighs, I'd recommend you size down. I kept this size because the jeans were tight on the thighs, it would've been way too tight had I sized down because of the waist.
Quality is great and very comfortable! I bought this on the 25% off sale and glad I did! The boyfriend loves it too.

Super comfy, stretchy like all CoH jeans, so do size down. The shiny coating came off a little after a few washes in the washer, but for this price and the comfort I have nothing to complain. Would have given it a 5 if not for the high-waist.

These are really lovely I think they are true to size I take a 26 in the Avedon Slick and these fit the same only the rise is higher. If you have a tiny waist size down as they are stretchy. I fit 26 in all Jbrand and 25-26 in Current elliot style dependent. I weight 55.5 kg (122 pounds) and 1.65 in height (5ft.5)

Overall the jeans are great! They hug your body as a glove, narrow thru the leg and at the ankle so they are more like jean leggins.
I took size 26 and usually I wear 27 (rarely 26) in most designer jean brands. They did look tiny but when I put them on there was no problem to zip them up so stretchy they are.
BUT if you do take smaller size they stretch so much on you that the coating stretches too and not so intense anymore. They end up being very shiny at the knees and below but not at the top part.
So if you want more "leather" look take you normal size although they may be not as body hugging.
